Whether it is in court or behind the scenes with judges, prosecutors and police, Fienman Defense uses experience and persistence to fight hard for you.
You may have been charged with a crime, but that does not mean you are guilty. We understand the difference. And we will be on your side.
Attorney Michael Fienman is a member of the bar in good standing with the U.S. District Courts for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania and District of New Jersey, and all counties surrounding Philadelphia, including Bucks County, Delaware County, Montgomery County, Lehigh County and Chester County.
Being charged with a DUI doesn’t have to affect your future, but it can. The best way to mitigate the penalties you face is to hire a Philadelphia criminal defense lawyer. A lawyer who has experience analyzing chemical and technical evidence, as well as a passion for defending a client’s rights, is essential to avoiding the worst consequences of a DUI.
The Pennsylvania Court System has a foundation level made up of minor courts, such as Magisterial District Courts that handle small disputes and Philadelphia’s Municipal Court that oversees non-jury criminal cases and traffic cases.
Fienman Defense can often be found in Municipal Court, because your involvement in Philadelphia County’s criminal justice system always begins in Municipal Court with your first court appearance following an arrest.
Our defense attorneys often try cases in the Court of Common Pleas, the next step up in Pennsylvania’s court system. These are the courts that handle jury trials.
We also appear frequently before courts in the next level, Superior Court, which hears appeals in criminal cases.
The Supreme Court is the highest court in the Commonwealth, presided over by seven justices.
Fienman Defense has the experience to represent you before judges and magistrates throughout the Pennsylvania criminal justice system. Wherever we are, we will defend you unrelentingly.
